Catching Up on Rare Jazz Vinyl

Let’s catch up on some items we’ve been watching on eBay, starting with Tommy Flanagan Overseas, Prestige 7134.This was an original New York yellow label. The record was listed in VG+ condition and the cover was VG. The final price was $1,610. Hank Mobley Quintet, Blue Note 1550. This looked to be an original promo copy with the New York 23 label. The record was listed in VG+ condition and the cover was listed as VG, but the pictures tell a different story for the cover. VG minus would be a stretch. Despite the cover, the record sold for $969.

As for those Blue Notes we were watching on our last post: Art Taylor, AT’s Delight, Blue Note 4047. This was an original review pressing in VG++ condition. The final price was $846. Fred Jackson, Hootin’ ‘N Tootin’, Blue Note 4094. This looked to be an original New York USA pressing, with the record in VG condition and the cover in VG+. The start price was $700 and there were no bidders. The record is back on eBay with the $700 as a buy-it-now price. Donald Byrd, Byrd in Flight, Blue Note 4048. This was an original pressing listed in Ex condition for the record and VG for the cover. The start price was about $900 and there were no bidders. It is now back on eBay with a start price of $650. There are no bids, again, and the auction closes later today.
